Dylan’s Ducati Motorcycle Blog : Chronicling The Canyon Life of Southern California & Ducati Sportbike News
Unfortunately I’ve got to be a bit brief tonight as I have another bike review to tend to but it’s worth noting that today’s ride was one of the better five-hour sojourns that I’ve spent in the last several months.

Saturday evening I did the near unthinkable. I rode a motorcycle for pleasure at night. It was an experience that seems so out of character for me and yet it was both exhilarating and crazy at the same time. Quite possibly it was as close as I’ve ever come to a living-on-the edge rush. Swooping […]
